<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Honeysuckle Tea House is a community gathering place, a musical performance space, a holistic living/learning center, a tea farm, a playground, an enormous garden full of medicinal and healthful herbs and flowers, a café, a tea house, and more. There are no windows and it only has half-walls so the whole space is open to wafting breezes. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's a fabulous room with fabulous views.</span></div>

(Morgan - as in Morgan Creek - for you James Taylor fans). In 1894, Mary Morgan Mason, one of the last descendants of the Morgan family, gifted the farm and it's property to the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill. Much of the property has reverted back to woodlands now and parts of the forest are 150 years old and contains trees that are over 300 years old. Amazing. There's a 65 acre ancient forest that has been continuously forested (never plowed or clear-cut) since before European settlement. The old fields, open since before the Civil War, are being rehabilitated to their wet meadow and Piedmont prairie states. Mason farm is 367 acres, set aside for study, contemplation, appreciation and exploration. On this day we hiked through slowly, to listen, explore and enjoy. The only sound was birdsong, summer insect noise and the occasion deer bounding through the woods.</span><br />

No matter what town we're in, there is river access for hiking, sitting, swimming, kayaking, whatever your heart desires. Add to that the lakes and ponds and we are decidedly water rich and it's a perfect way to spend some time. On this day we headed to Hillsborough and hiked one of the Riverwalk trails.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You don't have to meander far along this trail before coming upon Patrick Doughterty's Stickwork installation. It's a one-of-a-kind bent sapling sculpture that was commissioned by the Hillsborough Arts Council. Five towers and one central tower, all created using elm, sweetgum and sugar maple, complete with windows and an oculus in the central ceiling so visitors an view nature from within the framed observatory.</span> </div>

It's not unusual to see kids fishing (it's called Bass Lake, after all) and on this day, one resourceful woman was napping in a hammock set up lake-side. So peaceful.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Not too far outside of Boone is the community of Meat Camp and hidden off one of the winding roads is a privately owned, 9.5 acre wetland that's an amazing birding area. The owners allow visitors to wander the dense fen and have created boardwalks for crossing through the particularly marshy areas and maintain trimmed grass paths for strolling a 1 mile trail. The brush is allowed to develop naturally so gets quite tall (dwarfing me!) but hikers are able to see Meat Camp Creek which runs through both sides, and an active beaver pond too. If you go, bring binoculars because over 130 species of birds have been recorded here, but don't get frustrated if the brush is too thick for good spotting. </span></div>

Horses, cows and open-field birds enjoy this area. Having recently seen intriguing videos of cows responding to musicians who stopped along the side of the field to perform, Dave was inspired to give this a test. Do cows really respond to music? He sang them a few songs. And did they like it?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Every museum has it's own collection, it's own vision, and curators design exhibits based on their own personally chosen themes. As we walked through the quiet halls at the Ackland in Chapel Hill, I realized that there were heads everywhere. We visit a lot of museums and I don't really recall any other gallery quite so rich with so many fascinating faces. Heads, from a wide range of time periods and from so many different corners of the world. Who knew?</span></div>

In the late 1700’s, James Hogg, along with many other families, settled here and farmed the fertile land. Hogg’s 3-home plantation was named Poplar Hill. In the 1890’s, General Julian Carr purchased Poplar Hill and the surrounding land and expanded the farm to include a horse racetrack.

In 1947, Bill France discovered the racetrack as he flew over Orange County. France partnered with 4 other men to form Hillsboro Speedway, purchase of the 200-acre parcel that included the racetrack in order to develop it for use as an auto racetrack - the Occoneechee Speedway.<br />

In 1949, NASCAR hosted their first race on the 1-mile dirt track - a 100-mile race with over 20,000 fans in attendance. Interesting fact: NASCAR and automobile racing in the South originated in the early 1900’s as informal competitions among bootleggers who modified their vehicles for speed and handling in rural landscapes.

The track hosted many races, local athletic games, and community events over the next 20 years until 1968, when the opening of the Talladega track in Alabama took the place of the Speedway. The final NASCAR race at the track, “The Hillsboro 150”, took place on September 15, 1968, with Richard Petty as the winner.<br />

By 1969, racing had fallen out of political favor in the area and with the Speedway out of use, nature began to reclaim the land.<br />

In the early 1980’s, this property was threatened as a proposed location for a bypass intended to redirect traffic congestion in the area. The Preservation Fund of Hillsborough, Preservation North Carolina, and the James M Johnston Charitable Trust, along with Classical American Homes Preservation Trust, worked together to preserve the natural and historic integrity of the Speedway property and surrounding land.<br />

In 1997, CAHPT took ownership of the HOST property and in 2002 this site was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2006 local racing enthusiasts formed the Historic Speedway Group to help in restoring and maintaining the site. In 2011, CAHPT joined with the Mountains-to-Sea Trail to connect HOST to the statewide trail system. The HOST is the only dirt track speedway remaining from NASCAR’s inaugural season.<br />

The NC Modernist Homes organization was granted permission to open up this home to a limited number of people for just 4 hours before being sold to another private owner. Dave & I were lucky enough to go. The house sits on 25 acres of fields, woods and of course, Morgan Creek runs through the property close to the house. So open, airy, and designed for living, it's perfect for unbounded creativity to flourish here. Big spaces, glass walls, lots of room to breathe. George Matsumoto was the original architect on the project, following an idea that mother Trudy Taylor had in mind for her family, but George was fired at some point and went on to give up home design for a while exclaiming that he was "not wanting to work for the wives." The job was finished up by John Latimer, who also has some acclaim. The property also holds Kate's playhouse, a guest house where the two older boys lived when they were a little older, and an artist studio for Trudy. Outside wood is cypress, interior wood is cherry and floors are oak. This was the home of Isaac (Dean of the UNC School of Medicine), Trudy and where their kids Hugh, James, Livingston, Alex and Kate grew up.</span></span><br />
